Gardnerville Ranchos is larger than Gardnerville itself, and it is the more residential of the two. The numbers above show a community of owners, with the median home built in 1987 and a median age of 46. It is also the most settled place in this part of the Carson Valley: residents move less often here than in nearly any town we serve.

A community that stays put

When only 7.5 percent of residents move in a year, the people who do move have usually been in their homes a long time. Only 13 percent of householders arrived since 2020, so most Ranchos households have years of belongings. Plan for more boxes than you expect; the 10 free heavy-duty boxes with the estimate are a start, and the packing supplies counter in Sparks has more.

The estimator's walk-through covers the garage and any outbuildings. In a community of detached houses, which make up more than 85 percent of the homes here, garages are often the largest rooms to move.

Homes from the late 1980s

A median year built of 1987 means many homes have their original layout, with split-level plans, long hallways and steps from the garage. About 28 percent were built before 1980. Crew leads plan stair carries and door clearances at the estimate.

Roads from Sparks

The drive uses I-580, then US 395 south, then a short run on Nevada 88 into the Ranchos, as the fact block shows. The Ranchos is further out than Gardnerville, so crews plan fuel and break time into the day. For the neighboring town, see Movers in Gardnerville.

Services in the Ranchos

Snow and ice on the valley floor

At about 4,800 feet, the Ranchos see snow most winters, and the roads into the subdivisions are not always plowed first. Crews carry runners and mats, and the office confirms the start time with you if a storm is coming.

What customers say about O'Brien's

Laurie I.

The two employees showed up on time and were very polite and ready to work. Our quote was 8 hours and they finished in 5 hours. Office staff checked in prior to move and confirmed all details and check in after move to make sure everything was taken care of. Would use this company again for sure!
